Harborfest's musical lineup.

The subdudes, a low-key New Orleans rock group, produces a surprisingly spicy gumbo of sound. Formed in 1987 to make mostly acoustic music with an emphasis on vocal harmonies, the band recorded a series of discs blending blues, funk, gospel and R&B. Singer and guitarist Tommy Malone and accordionist John Magnie front the band, which recently reunited after a long hiatus.

Charlie Daniels Band has been churning out twang-heavy Southern-fried rock steadily since the early 1970s. The 1975 album Fire on the Mountain produced one of the groups most enduring anthems, The Souths Gonna Do It Again. Another came in 1979 when Daniels  a fine fiddler who had performed on Bob Dylans Nashville Skyline album  scored a hit with Devil Went Down to Georgia.
